That is so sad I'm sorry!! Have you seen mum again? Was it feathers around the nest or just down? Best chance for the eggs would be an incubator, or another broody duck or chicken. It is late but it's normal for ducks to make a second nest. Even if there is a duckling that's made it :c and yes...

Winnie I got home for a very short time. Spring 2017 Both 1 year old

You are so kind to take in all these ducks :hugs How could people end up with so many ducks and not feed them? It's mind-boggling. Are they afraid of the food bowl perhaps? You could also put the feed in a bowl with a lot of water, so they can slobber it. Or throw some on the ground. Kudos to...

Your ducks are very cute and fluffy. But Mary's flight feathers don't look normal. Like they are dead and turning into sticks. I've only seen feather's like that on a duck with a deformed wing. Alice's feathers have just started to grow I think they look good. Sid is a guy and they go into mold...

Please keep looking for a vet, is there another farm vet nearby? Don't let him outside and kill any flies that get into your house

Hi @chicky-ang, one of "my" mallards showes up with a leg broken above the ankle, her leg was limp so the vet amputated it. My thread about it is here https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/duck-had-leg-amputation.1173658/ I hope the vet can help your duckling :fl

Good to hear Saga is doing so well! I hope she can join her sisters soon. Do you have any pictures? I saw Hooks today, after about a week. She was laying in the grass with her sister Mini Me and a drake. He was molting so I'm not sure if it was Hooks' or Mini Me's partner. So she's doing good :D

Did the vet give medicine or advice on what to do? Like giving him physiotherapy/letting him swim? I agree with @firestomp that he should have shown improvement after 3 weeks, and honestly I don't think it is fair to hand over a severely disabled duck to a rescue center. And I don't think it's...

I'm going to summon @Julie Bird to your thread because she needs to see your adorable duckling :love look at her flapping her tiny wings she is sooo cute :love

They are sooo cute look at the pile of ducklings! :love And little Montana sure looks cheeky I wanna hold them all :love:love

Huuuuge file of Zorro babies! My mum said the hospital she works at wanted to have pictures of animals and their babies so I made a bunch of (hopefully) super-quality pics of Zorro and her babies! They are older now and sadly the little dark duckling that is standing up in the photo passed away...

@Miss Lydia I wish I could but sadly she will be on her own. I can't keep her in a pen she would be miserable. The wound healed up fine and she was very happy to leave this morning! I couldn't even put her on the ground she flew straight from my hands. I hope she returns soon but for now she's...

So sorry for your Saga! I get it right she got surgery? Hooks' wound is healing good and the vet said we have to give her antibiotics for a week and painkillers for four days. And no swimming! which makes her sad. But just 2 more days! It's amazing how quick they adapt. She was standing after...

Yes, Pootje the one-legged drake. I haven't seen him since last year, he was in a different part of town. I'm worried for Hooks because there are so many nasty drakes and she will lay eggs :( She had ducklings about two weeks ago and she lost them all in a day. I was so sad :hit Unless there are...

Of all days for BYC to go offline, right? One of the ducks that live in my neigborhood showed up with an injuried leg. I could capture her and took her to the vet. That was last Thursday. The vet said her leg is broken above the ankle and he would probably have to amputate it. Because her leg...

Name: Winnie (the Second) Age: almost 3 weeks, so he is turning into a dinosaur Breed: mallard Other: Winnie II loves to take warm showers with me and help me play Plants vs Zombies on the ipad (he pecks at the peas). He made friends with the two Donsje babies, sadly they all turned into panic...

Thank you, it's been very hard I think I ran out of tears. I will try to upload a few pictures of Winnie the Second and the Donsje babies soon. I have one of Winnie II with a shell necklace

Yes it was very sad, I took the remaining ones inside for the night. Donsje was upset ofcourse, I let her out and she went bathing and swimming with her partner.

That is really sad, I get how you're feeling :( I'm so sorry

Thanks all for the kind words, sadly we lost another duckling this morning. He was very weak and cold last night so I took all 3 inside and let Donsje out of the pen. My mom and I spend 2 hours warming him and giving him electrolytes and he got lively again! But sadly he was very lethargic by...
